Karma Description Mod

[b0x]

Thanks for your quick response guys. I enabled karma on my forum the other day and so far it looks like its not going to last. What the prospect of getting a few smites can do to some people.

Maybe I'll install this mod and see whether it's easier for people to accept if they can see the reason of the applauds and smites. Anyway, thanks for the quick answers.

To upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3, do I NEED to uninstall 2.2 first?

Hey guys quick question: Can I set this so that only admins can view who changed the karma?

I'm looking for a solution to prevent a recent spate of karma attacks on prominent community members. I'm looking for this as an administrative tool - rather than a public feature.

Any demo now? No registration needed please

that's how it's set up on mine now.  members can see who changed their own karma, and admins can see who changed everyone's karma.

There were errors (send error, /* error, etc) in my karma.php file in many line. So i uninstall this mod.

[martina]

Hmm... I don't have the time to delve into the mod really so, has anyone got a fix for the error:

Code Select Expand


Unable to load the 'main' template.


I have this error too is there a solution to it.  We have not long set up our site so if there is please could you explain in easy to understand language  .

Stupid question here : How do i see a karma log ?

It gives me a warm feeling inside to answer a question from somebody who normally answers questions rather than asking them.

Presumably you've gone to ACP>Features and Options>Karma and enabled the mod and put the settings as you want them (and gone through the permissions masks changes as needed)...if so then the log is available via those profiles you've allowed to see it.

Hehehe ... Glad to know that you weren't annoyed with my question and thanks for the answer.

I've gone through everything as you stated and currently i am viewing the karma by putting in http://weburl/index.php?action=viewkarma. Is there any other way for me to view it ?

I've found the answer to this question after playing through the feature.

Anyway, is it possible for me to censor the name of the person who gave karma to the specific person ?

[TrueSatan]

Not that I know of...you're allowing them to see the karma log so unless you were to hack the mod such that the log didn't record those names there's not much to be done about it....maybe Grek might have another idea but I don't see a way around this one.

Glad you got it working BTW...all credit to Grek as it is a very nice mod.

Yeah. It was an awesome mod. I need to disclose the person who give out the karmas from that person who received the karma to avoid an arguement especially those who received a negative karma.

[TrueSatan]

Maybe you could keep the Karma log for staff viewing to combat abuse rather than allowing every member to see it? If a member wanted to know who or why then they could ask a staff member who would then be able to disclose or not as seemed suitable on each occasion.

If this is the case, the problem comes when you have a lot of members inquiring for their karma informations. You get what I mean ?

[TrueSatan]

Absolutely...personally I'd restrict it to abuse queries and make it that if the query is spurious you deduct karma from the person making the request...there are ways you can handle this so that even on an big active forum you wouldn't load the staff with too much work. I do see what you're saying but all the same it's not just about what software you have but also about how you use it.

If you do the above or some other way of penalising unwarranted queries (restrict arcade access for instance...there are lots of things you could do) then there need not be a problem.

[Zoky]

This may be a stupid question... but... I cannot find where should users pick should they receive notification of karmachange in PM or popup window?

I've searched profile all the way but no luck finding it...

Thanks in advance...

@ Zoky

1) You will need to be using the SMF default theme unless you have installed thre mod into a custom theme.

2) You will need to enable the mod and arrange the settings of it appropriately...ACP>Features and Options>Karma

3) You will need to set the member permissions masks appropriately to your needs.

Given all the above look in the Profile.

[Zoky]

1) I am using it
2) http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/8031/slika1ti0.gif
3) I'm an admin, so all permisions should be here, if I'm right...

And I still can't find it 

[TrueSatan]

 The image you've shown shows that you haven't allowed users to view the log but as admin if you look at the profile of one of your forum members then you should see there options for you to view "Who changed my karma     Whose karma have I changed" these will let you look at the log.
